IONIA (Mich.) June 4. (AP)--Ten of the thirteen criminally insane inmates of the Michigan State Hospital here who forced their way to freedom early Tuesday are once more in custody tonight and posses are directing their efforts to recapturing the three still at large.
The men still free are Roy A. Wynkoop, Henry Vaden and Gerald Badgley. Sheriff's officers believe they may have stolen an automobile and escaped this section of the State. Approximately 150 men made up today's searching parties.
Farmers in Ionia county continued to keep a lookout for the fugitives today. Deputy Sheriff Good narrowly escaped being the victim of one alert farmer's wife, who fired on him when she mistook his party for a group of escaped inmates.
